For D&D and other TTRPG groups

Your RPG table, without the group-chat chaos.

The Tavern is your RPG group's own app. The game master (GM) calls the session, everyone answers with one tap, and the game confirms itself once enough players are in. Notices, calendar, chat and a voice room live in one place.

Opens a demo tavern in your browser, no sign-up. Nothing you do there is saved.

Every week, the same scene

Who's in on Saturday?

Sunday night the GM asks in the group chat. Monday brings three memes, a “probably” and a two-minute voice note. Wednesday someone asks again.

By Friday nobody knows if the game is on, and the rulebook PDF is buried somewhere above the memes. The Tavern takes those decisions out of the chat and gives each one its own room.

1. Call the session

How do you book the game without chasing anyone?

The GM posts the session call on the Board, with date, time and place, or opens a poll with up to 20 time slots. The notice goes out to your Discord channel, to email and to in-app notifications.

  • Anyone who hasn't voted gets a reminder 24 hours and 2 hours before the deadline.
  • Once a session is done, the next one appears on its own, same day and time.

2. Answer

What if half the group never opens the app?

Everyone answers from wherever they are: in the app, through the email link without logging in, or from the Google Calendar invite. It all lands in one place. When the “I’ll be there” count reaches quorum, the session is confirmed.

  • Every session becomes a Google Calendar invite that updates itself if the time changes, and Google Calendar shows it in each player's local time.
  • Using another calendar? Each session has an .ics file.

3. Play

Where does the group meet to play?

At game time everyone sits at the Table: voice, video and screen sharing, 10 seats, a character sheet and dice for each player and the GM screen. Playing on Foundry VTT? The Portal opens your game inside the tavern.

  • Voice and video are never recorded and never pass through the tavern's server.
  • Switched tabs? A floating window shows who is speaking.

What changes when the table leaves the group chat?

  • In the group chat:The session date gets lost among memes and GIFs.

    In the tavern:The session call stays pinned to the Board, with date, time and place.

  • In the group chat:“Who’s in on Saturday?” turns into forty messages.

    In the tavern:Everyone taps “I’ll be there” and quorum counts itself.

  • In the group chat:Someone always forgets, and someone always nags.

    In the tavern:Reminders go out on their own, only to those who haven't answered.

  • In the group chat:The rulebook PDF gets lost in the scrollback.

    In the tavern:The Bookshelf keeps your Google Drive books on shelves.

  • In the group chat:The voice call lives in yet another app.

    In the tavern:The Table has voice, video, sheets and dice in the same place.

The group chat doesn't have to go: the tavern writes each notice with a link, ready to paste there.

Does it work with what your table already uses?

The Tavern doesn't replace your group's tools: it brings them together. Here's what works today and what we're exploring next.

Works today

  • Foundry VTT

    The Portal opens the GM's game inside the Tavern and shows whether the server is up.

  • Google Calendar and Drive

    Every session becomes a calendar invite, and the Bookshelf shows the books and maps in the group's Drive.

  • Discord

    Session calls, reminders and notices land in your group’s channel.

  • Email

    Every session call carries a link to RSVP without signing in.

  • WhatsApp

    Each notice comes as copy-ready text, with the link, to paste into your group chat.

Coming soon

  • Roll20

    Open the Roll20 campaign from the Portal, the way Foundry opens today.

  • Other virtual tabletops

    Tell us which one your group uses: what groups ask for decides what we explore next.

What's coming soon has no date yet: it only joins the plan once it truly works.

Still on the fence?

My group won't install anything.

They don't have to. The tavern opens in any phone or computer browser, and whoever wants can install it as an app, no store. Anyone who won't open anything can answer from the email link or the calendar invite.

What about our Discord?

Keep it. The tavern posts its notices to your Discord channel with a link back. What moves to the tavern are the decisions: the date, who’s coming, the notices and the books.

Does it work with the system we play?

D&D, Pathfinder or anything else: the tavern does not depend on rules. If you play on Foundry VTT, the Portal opens your game inside the app.

Is the group's data safe?

Server and database run in São Paulo, Brazil. Passwords are stored with Argon2id, and sign-in is two-step: your password plus a 6-character code sent by email. No ads, no data selling.

How much is a tavern?

Split with your table, it’s a steal: under $1 a person.

One price for the whole table, paid by whoever signs up, and the table splits it however they like. Start with the Discord you already use, or bring the whole campaign inside the tavern. Payment for groups outside Brazil isn’t open yet.

Payment for groups outside Brazil isn’t open yet: write to us and we’ll reply personally.

What's coming next?

The Tavern starts with your group. The next step is connecting one tavern to another.

  1. Coming soon

  2. Coming soon

    Taverns that talk

    Your tavern talks to the others: ask to join a table as a player or to run a campaign as GM, and that tavern replies.

  3. Coming soon

    Paid tables showcase

    A showcase of paid tables run by professional GMs in your area, without taking a cut of what the GMs earn.

  4. Coming soon

    One-shots and meetups

    One-night adventures and meetups between taverns, to meet new people without leaving your group.

  5. Coming soon

    The Journal in your notifications

Frequently asked

Can I try it before I reach out?

Yes. The demo tavern opens in your browser with no sign-up: you walk in as a visitor and see the Board, the Almanac, the Portal and the Table with a made-up group. Nothing you do there is saved.

How much does it cost?

Per table, per month: $4.49 for Tavern + Discord (up to 6 people), $5.49 for the Tavern plan (up to 6) and $7.99 for the Great Hall (up to 10). Payment for groups outside Brazil isn’t open yet: write to us and we’ll reply personally.

How do players get in?

It's invite-only. The innkeeper (your group's admin, usually the GM) creates each player's account and sends the invite; on first login, everyone sets their own password.

How many people fit in the tavern?

Up to 6 people on Tavern + Discord and the Tavern plan, and up to 10 in the Great Hall, GM included. The voice and video Table has as many seats as the plan.

Does it work with the system we play?

Yes. The tavern doesn't depend on a system: it works for Pathfinder, D&D and any other. If you play on Foundry VTT, the Portal opens the game inside the app.

Do we need to install anything?

No. The tavern opens in the browser and, if you like, installs on your phone as an app, no store needed.

Is the Table's voice and video recorded?

No. Voice and video are never recorded and don't go through the tavern's server.

Where is the group's data kept?

The database and the server are in São Paulo, Brazil. No ads, and we don't sell data. The details are in the privacy policy.

What if the group wants to stop?

Cancel anytime, no fees, by email: your tavern stays open until the end of the month you paid for. Before it closes, the innkeeper can ask for a copy of the group’s data; after that, it’s deleted.
